Stacking data

[jthodge]

I'm a bit unfamiliar with stacking data in Eviews and the role of stack identifiers.

Specifically, I'm wondering what the appropriate coding would be to simply stack all of my series from a time series format into a panel-style long/thin table.

For example, I'd like to convert data structured as the following:

Code: Select all

obs GDP UNP INF 2001 0.01 0.04 0.07 2002 0.02 0.05 0.08 2003 0.03 0.06 0.09

into a workfile structured as:

Code: Select all

YEAR SER VAL 2001 GDP 0.01 2002 GDP 0.02 2003 GDP 0.03 2001 UNP 0.04 2002 UNP 0.05 2003 UNP 0.06 2001 INF 0.07 2002 INF 0.08 2003 INF 0.09

How would I formulate the pagestack command to accomplish this?
